One problem I had with a python windows service in general ended up being related to the following tech note. Took me forever to figure out what the problem was, but every one of the symptoms in the tech note applied. I'm posting this to hopefully save other's the headache. The immediate output you see is as follows: E:\scripts>winsvc.py start Starting service RatControlService Error starting service: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. E:\scripts> More info was available in the event logs as described in the tech note. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812485 -Justin On Wed, 12 Nov 2003 09:46:14 -0800, "Cory Dodt" <corydodt@twistedmatrix.com> said:

I should add that, if you do have any problems using it (e.g. net start doesn't work), check the Application Log in Event Viewer. There should be a helpful traceback in an Error event.
